If there was any diminution in the attendance on the Hurst yesterday, Hampton was without doubt in its proper form to-day. Never was there such a number of vehicles of every description, from aristocratic drags to shandrydans of the humblest kind. All the Stands were densely crowded, and the booths, of which there were enough in all con science, for they blocked out all view of the racing, were full to overflowing. There were the usual features of a Cup day in the pony and donkey riding, the archery tar gets, the shows, the knock-'em-downs, and all the many modes of enjoyment that this Cockney Saturnalia has long been famous for, The Manor Plate was only a gentle gallop for the favourite, Birdfinder (Challoner) getting away in front and staying there, and the South-Western Railway Plate turned out the good thing for Wild Thyme that it looked on paper. Mr Cherry's Birdfinder, a good, useful horse, proved him self over a mile to be indifferent to weight, and squandered his horses in the most hollow style. The delays at starting were very tedious, and the Maiden Two Year Old Plate was run one hour and a half behind time. Of murse the loss of time leads to a slurring over of the other events, and one so treads upon the heels of the other that there is but little enjoyment of the sport. It seems almost absurd fixing half-hour time between races. One knows that it will I never be kept. It ought, however, in justice to the starter, I Mr Marshall, to be stated that the blame does not rest with him. So badly was the course kept at the post through the inability of the small number of police to curb the multitude that the jockeys refused to come away. We mention this be cause, though we are aware the authorities secured the ser vices of extra hands, they were not sufficient for the occasion, and several of the principal jockeys have expressed to us their determination not to accept anyengagements at Hamp ton until proper steps are taken to remedy these abuses. We fear that the interests of racing and the safety and conve nience of the public have not been much thought of by those who bear rule here. The crowding of the ground with booths to such an extent as to render seeing the running almost an impossibility is apparently the first object. This greed of gain is, we venture to think, a mistaken policy. Probably the rising of another important meeting next year on the north side of London, and which promises to be thoroughly well conducted, and which will fall on the same week with Hampton, will prove an effectual remedy to the evils com plained of. The monetary administration, with diminished receipts, will awaken to a sense of the error of their ways, and we shall have to record a better state of things for the future.

ARMY OF NORTHERN VIRGINIA, SPOTTSYL VANIA COURT-HOUSE, VIRGINIA, May 10. On Wednesday morning, the 4th inst., I took the train by the Central Railway for Gordonsville,where I arrived early in the afternoon, and took horse for General Lee's headquarters. The army was already in motion down the Rapidan, in the direction of Chancellorsville and Fredericksburg, to intercept General Grant,who was reported to be crossing the Rapidan at Germania Ford below and on the right of the Confederate position, and to be moving towards this place on the direct road to Richmond. A section of the road from Germania Ford to Spottsylvania Court-house is known as Brock's road, and for the sake of convenience I shall hereafter speak of the whole road by that name. This road is cut obliquely by three other roads —viz., a turnpike and a plank-road, running nearly parallel to each other from Orange Court house to Fredericksburg, and about four miles apart at the points of intersection, and an unfinished rail way leading from Gordonsville to the same place. The turnpike lies next to the river, the railway on the south, and the plank road between the two. The railway passes along within 500 paces of the plank-road where they cross Brock's road. The villages in which the County Courts hold their Ses sions in Virginia frequently have no other name than the Court-house, and when Spottsylvania Court-house is spoken of the reader must understand me as referring to the shire town of Spottsylvania county. As soon as General Lee ascertained that Grant had certainly cut loose from his base at Culpepper Court-house and was moving rapidly past his right, he put his own army in motion, sending Ewell's corps down the turnpike and A; P. Hill's down the plank road, and ordering Longstreet, who had arrived at Gordonsville some days previously from East Tennessee, to move his corps down on the right of Hill's line of march so as to strike the head of the enemy's column. He did not hesitate a moment what to do, but sprang at once upon the flank of his antagonist like a tiger upon the side of an ox. Grant had thrown a heavy cavalry force with infantry supports up the turnpike and plank road to protect his line of march; these Ewell and Hill swept from their paths as if they had been chaff, and pressed down upon Brock's-road, along which Grant was moving. The latter at length realized the danger of his position, halted his army, and advanced to meet his assailants. The resolu tion was the wisest he could take, since it enabled him to withdraw his trains beyond danger, and secure his position on Brook's-road by a line of in trenchments which he proceeded immediately to construct from the railroad cut to the turnpike and behind which he could retire in case of disaster. It also secured his retreat in the event he found it necessary to withdraw upon Fredericksburg. The district of country in which Brock's-road is intersected by the unfinished railway, plank road, and turnpike is very appropriately designated the " Wilderness." The population is poor and igno rant, the soil destitute of fertility, the supply of water scant, and the ground broken and covered by stunted pines, bushes, and blackjacks, forming an almost impenetrable chapparal. The country was very unfavourable to military operations, and rendered it exceedingly difficult to manoeuvre an army, though well suited to Grant's purposes in that the dense woods furnished a desirable screen to his movements, as well as a considerable protection against attack. Chancellorsville, the scene of Lee's great victory over Hooker on the 4th of last May, is just five miles to the east of Grant's position by the plank road, and Fredericksburg, the scene of Burnside's defeat, is 16 w i lco in the came direction. Thursday, May 5. Grant met Ewell and Hill two miles west from Brock's-road at 4 p.m., and immediately gave battle. He attacked with vigour and in heavy numbers, and apparently with confidence, but was repulsed. He continued to attack heavily until night, and made one assault upon Major-General Johnson's front of Ewell's corps after dark, but was beaten back as often as he advanced, with heavy loss, in cluding 2,000 prisoners and four guns, taken by Early's division of Ewell's command. Longstreet not having arrived, owing to the greater distance he had to march, Gen. Lee refrained from pressing his advantage, and slept upon the battle-field. His own loss is comparatively slight, his daring and agile troops understanding better than their enemies how to take advantage of the rough country and tangled woods in which they fought. Longstreet reached a point ten miles from the battle-field by the middle of the afternoon, but, owing to the peculiar condition of the atmosphere and the density of the forest, he was unable to hear the report of Hill's and Ewell'e guns, and was igno rant that the two armies had been engaged until midnight, when he received an order from General Lee to cross over to the plank road to the aid of Hill. The cavalry of the respective armies met re peatedly during the day on the road by which Long street had been advancing, with some advantage to the Confederates - in prisoners and material. Friday, May 6. Longstreet arrived soon after sunrise this morn ing. Hill's troops were aware of his approach, and that he was to take their place on the line, and having been marching and fighting all day yester day, and sleeping but little last night, they got ready to retire as the head of Longstreet's corps reached the ground. Unfortunately, Grant re newed the attack just at the time, threw Heth's and Wilcox's divisions of Hill's corps into confu sion and pushed them back upon Longstreet's column, which had not yet deployed into line. Longstreet got three regiments ofKershaw's division in position, and with this Spartan band he held the enemy in check until the remainder of the division, and finally his entire corps, could be brought up. Then ensued a furious and bloody combat all along Longstreet's front from the railway out across the plank road, and some distance beyond. His veteran corps, which had made the circuit of half of the Confederacy within the last 12 months, never fought better or more successfully. Grant took advantage of the disorder among Hill's troops, and hurled heavy masses upon the point, hoping to turn the Confederate right wing and throw himself between Lee and Richmond, and he would have succeeded but for Longstreet's timely arrival. The troops of the latter, however, had never turned their backs to the enemy on the field of battle, and it was too late now when the capital of the country was the stake for which the combatants played, to take their first lesson in such unworthy tactics. The result has already been anticipated by the reader; the Federals were beaten back with heavy loss, and the Confe derates remained masters of the ground. The attack was renewed simultaneously on the left, though not with so much vigour as on the right ; and here, too, Ewell with compare the enemy were repulsed by Live ease. At 11 o'clock Longstreet was ordered with som e select brigades to pass to the right and attack the enemy in flank. The order was promptly exe cuted. Falling suddenly upon Grant's left resting on the railway cut, he drove the enemy in confusion, bending his line back upon itself and gaining the plank road a mile in advance of the scene of the recent conflict. Placing himself at the head of Jenkins's brigade he swept down the road, and was just passing Mahone's brigade, concealed in the bushes along the road and a short distance from it, when the latter, unable on account of the dense growth to distinguish friend from foe, opened fire upon the passing brigade, supposing it to be a body of the enemy caught up the road, and trying to effect its escape. Several were killed and wounded, including Brigadier-General Jenkins, who received a mortal wound in the head, from which he died this evening. Lieutenant-General Longstreet was shot in the neck, the ball entering on the right of the larynx, passing around under the skin, carrying away a part of the scapula, and making its exit be hind the right shoulder. He was taken to the rear and his wound dressed by his medical director, Dr. Callen, who pronounces it a dangerous, though not probably a mortal wound. The chief danger appre hended is from secondary hemorrhage, it being the opinion of the most eminent surgeons in the army that if he passes safely through the next fortnight, and the carotid artery does not become involved, he will be able to return to the field in a few days. He has lost the temporary use of his right arm, what surgeons call the cervical plexus of nerves having been injured by the passage of the ball. The delay which ensued upon this unfortunate accident lost the Confederates all the advantage they had thus far gained by Longstreet's flank movement. At the time of his fall the success of the Confederates and the rout of the Federals seemed to be certain ; but the delay gave the latter time to escape from their position above and to gain the cover of their intrenchments. Major-General Ander son was assigned to the command of Longstreet's corps, and hereafter it will be spoken of as Ander son's corps. _ The Federals having been repulsed at all points with heavy loss, and showing no disposition to renew the attack, General Lee at 4 p.m. advanced his entire line for the purpose of ascertaining their condition and position. He gained their works at two points, and learned that -they- hacl—conbteueted entrench ments along and just in , front of Brock's-road, extending from the railway cut to the turnpike, a distance of four miles, through an almost impene. treble thicket, and that they had availed themselves of the railway cut upon which their left rested to place a force in that quarter sufficient to guard against another movement upon their flank. An assault being impracticable, General Lee has given orders for his troops to withdraw from the immediate front of the enemy to-night, and take up the position which they occupied in the morning, as being better than that to which they had advanced. It is not his policy to hazard anything by a premature movement; the stake is too great, and he prefers the policy which compels Grant to make the attack. If prisoners speak the truth, Grant did not expect to meet Lee so soon ; it was his expectation, as 800 D as he effected the passage of the Rapidan, that Lee would withdraw rapidly in the direction of Rich. mond, at which point he hoped to arrive as early as the Confederates. His troops, however, did not share in his confident expectations, if we may judge from letters picked up on the battle-field, in which the writers express great admiration for the cha racter and abilities of Lee, and but little respect for their own officers. Daring the afternoon Brigadier• General, Wofford, of Anderson's Corps, was permitted at his ow n request to move upon the rear of the Federal left wing. He got possession of the camps of three corps d'armee, destroyed and brought off a good deal of material, and created great consternation among the teamsters and quartermasters. To-night Brigadier- General Gordon, of Ewell's Corps, threw his brigade, like a net, around the enemy's extreme right, and took 500 prisoners, including Brigadier-Generals Seymour and Shaler. About 1,000 prisoners were brought in today, making 3,000 altogether. The battle will probably be called the Battle of the Wilderness, from the name of the region in which it was fought. General Seymour admits that Grant has been beaten, as he says the North will always be until her ports are closed, her officers and public men be come more temperate and earnest, and the rations of her soldiers are reduced to " parched corn and beans, like the rebels'." He confesses that the war is conducted on the part of the North too much as if it were a matter of frolic to the officers in the fisld, and of contract to the partisar:s of Govern ment at home. He seems to regard the present campaign in Virginia as likely to be final and deci sive, and is of the opinion that the war cannot be protracted much longer if L'2o be successful, as he appeared to believe he would be. Saturday, May 7. Longstreet was taken to the rear this morning. General Lee came to take leave of him at an early hour. No one was present at the brief interview, but when he came out of the tent where his great lieutenant lay I noticed that his eyes were filled with tears. He could but remember that it was just one year ago, and only five miles distant in the hard fought field of Chancellorsville, that Jackson, after having completed a successful movement upon Hooker's rear and flank, fell almost precisely under the same circumstances at the hands of his own men, and he, doubtless, felt some apprehension that as he lost his good right arm then, he might lose his left arm now. It will be a sad and grievous day to millions of hearts throughout the Confederacy should Longstreet be called to follow his cherished brother in arms to that undiscovered bourne from which no traveller returns. At 11 o'clock this morning Grant, as if desirous of understanding the meaning of Lee's withdrawal east from his immediate front back two miles to the original battle ground, ordered a general advance. His men came up to their work handsomely, and it was believed we should have had a warm day of it ; but the result shows that they had but little stomach for the business, for they were driven back along the entire line in less than 30 minutes, Possibly Grant desired to provoke Lee to follow him back to his intrenched position, and to make that the battle ground. Late in the afternoon Stuart, chief of cavalry, re. ported that Grant had resumed kis flank movement, and under cover of the thick woods was throwing a force forward in the direction of Spottsylvania Court-house on the direct road to Richmond. Orders were immediately issued for Anderson's Corps (late Longstreet's) to march at 11 o'clock to-night for this place, and preparations are now being ma d e to put the whole army in motion for the same e dee- ti na tion to-morrow. The distance from the battle• field, which is n ear the western boundary o Spott sylvania county, to the Court-house is 15 Federall e mi le s. St u art's cavalry have been holding h horse in check in that quarter for two days, but the i n f a ntry and artillery force, which is reported to be advancing to the aid of the latter, will probably enable them to get possession of the village and the important highways which intersect each other at that point. ma T t e h s e t c h h e l i e r f W s o u u r n g d eo e n d at of t t h h e e l C v l n d f e e r d n e e r s a s t e a t a 6 7 oo y o e a s n t id their killed at considerably less than 1,000. The wounds are comparatively slight, owing to the pro tection afforded by the trees, and the absence of ar tillery, whi c h could not b e use d in consequence of the dense and almost unbroken forest. I shall not venture an opinion as to the Federal loss, though I cannot but regard the reports of prisoners, who place it as high as 25,000, as an exaggeration. Judging, however, from what fell under my own eye upon a Portion of the field, I hazard but little in saying it was twice as heavy as that of the Confederates. Sunday, May 9. I came on to this place (Spottsylvania Court , house) this afternoon. General Lee's order to occupy the village was given none too soon, for when Anderson's corps arrived at 8 o'clo ck this morning, he found the Federal cavalry, reinforced by infantry and artillery, already in possession. His men had been marching rapidly, and f or two miles had double quirked it, and conconsequentlyj wer e much jaded, but they were ready for the work, tired as they were. Kershaw's division led the corps, and was the first to reach the ground, Two brigades were sent against the cavalry force holding the Court-house, and two others were placed behind a thin rail fence and some frail obstructions which had been thrown across the road by which a force of Federal infantry was ad vancing. The latter fell into the error of supposing that the force behind the fence was dismounted cavalry, and rushed forward with the utmost con fidence. The Confederates reserved their fire until their foes got within a few paces, and then, airing deliberate aim, gave them a covered the ground with their slain. writ , was short and s h arp ; some o f th e F e derafhltot the fence, and actually used the bayonet, but in less than half an hour they were driven rapidly back, leaving 500 dead and mortally wounded, and 200 prisoners in the hands of the victorious Confe rates. The Courthouse was cleared with equal success by the brigades sent against it, and when I reached the ground at 3 p.m, I found the advance of General Lee's army in quiet possession. Ewell's corps came up this afternoon and was put in pcsi• Lion, and Hill's will be here to-morrow morning. Thus Gen era l L ee has succeeded i n throw i ng hi s entire army right across the pith by which Grant 1 3 - must march if he would get "en to Richmond:' He not only r , pulsed all his assaults at toe Wilderness, but held him there until he could throw his own army in front of him. It was a masterly perform ance, and makes it necessary for Grant to deliver battle herr, or make another effort to tura General Lee's position. The Conft , ierzaes are in splendid cu:dition, and full ot spirit and cheer. falnees. Taey all realise the importance of victory, and are ready to endure any privation necessary to its achievement. Several officers belonging to the Quartermaster's and Commissary Departments in the field, though against positive orders, procured muskets and went into the fight. They said it might possibly be the last great battle, and they desired to make it successful. Three of them were killed—two at the Wilderness and one at this place. Is it pro bable that such an army can be overborne by the mercenaries who reluctantly follow at the heels of Gen. Grant? But the great battle of the campaign has not yet been fought—it will occur at this place or its vicinity. I omitted to state that Brigadier• Generals Jones, of Virginia, and Stafford, of Louisiana,were killed, and Brigadier-Gen. Benning, of Georgia, severely wounded. Other va l ua b le off i cers were sla i n . The Federal pap ers will supply you with a list of the casualties among the officers of Grant's army. Tuesday, May 10. Yesterday was occupied by the two armies in getting in position and preparing for battle. There was more or less skirmishing throughout the day, and some artillery firing. Today the skirmishing was heavy during the forenoon, and a heavy artil lery fire was maintained by the enemy. When the Confederates did use artillery, it was only when infantry showed themselves. Early in the after noon Grant advanced with heavy masses against Anderson's front, and later in the day against Ewell's, but he was easily repulsed. These assaults were repeated until night, and, though made by large numbers, they grew more and more feeble. In one instance only the assaulting column, headed by a regiment of the old United States army, gained the position of the Confederates, but all who crossed the fatal line were either killed or taken. Turning towards Richmond, I have to inform you that a Federal force landed at City Point, the point of confluence of the James and Appotamax rivers, some miles below the capital, and marched towards the Richmond and Petersburg Railway, hoping to cut the communications between the city and the more southern States. They were met by Brigadier-General Bushrod Johnson and beaten after a stubborn fight of four hours. Johnson sub• sequently took position so as to cover the railway bridge over Swift Creek, near Petersburg, and the enemy took advantage of his movement to tear up a few rails at another point nearer Richmond, and then retire to their gunboats. The Confederates captured and destroyed one gunboat, and another was blown up by a torpedo. I write under great disadvantages, and must close. Railway and Public Companies in Parliament. Yesterday the opposition of the corporation of the City of London to the proposed East London Rail way was opened by Mr Hope Scott, Q.C.; Mr R. Gurney, the recorder; and Air Chambers, the com mon sergeant. Thecorporation object to the intru sion of the railway within the precincts of the City, and to those portions of it thb t propose to run by the east side of Hount'slitch to a junction with the Finsbury extension of the Metropolitan Railway at Little Moorfieldc, and to the lengths on the east side of Moorgate-street, to the City branch of the North London Railway, near Sun-street, and to the Liverpool -street terminus of the London and North-Western. Mr. Haywood, engineer to the City of Lir!don Corporation, was examined, and stated that the underground portion of the line was objectionable in an engineering and public point of view, and that the open portion would lead to the demolition of a large amount of property, the ac quisition of which would be very expensive. He thought,moreover, that the introduction of the rail way would be a nuisance. It would run so close to the Friends' meeting-house in Bishopsgate-street as to interfere with their meditations and the quietude of their meetings. Mr. Sergeant Bellasis, Q.C., ob jected to the adducing any evidence in connection with the Friends and their establishment, inasmuch as they had not petitioned against the bill, and cense' quently had no locus standi. The committee, however, overruled the objection, and Mr. Hoy land, one of their number, was examined to prove the corrects ness of the assertion that the privacy of their devo tional meetings would be destroyed, exhibiting at the same time a model of the meeting-house to the committee.
